I'm Coleman. I shoot property, brand and people — end-to-end.
TimeSake Media is a one-camera-operator studio run out of Cape Town. Every brief — from a R25m Camps Bay listing to a founder headshot in Sandton — is composed, lit, cut and colour-graded by me on a calibrated monitor. No account managers, no handoffs, no drift between the pitch deck and the final frame.
Frames that book viewings.
TimeSake started in 2020 with a single objective: cut the gap between how a property feels in person and how it appears on Property24. Six years and 180+ shoots later, the discipline is the same — natural light where possible, hand-corrected verticals, editorial colour, and a delivery window measured in hours, not weeks.
The name comes from what our clients keep telling us — a good set of frames sells the viewing before the agent has to. That's time back in the day. Time on the market, cut in half.
The work covers four categories: property (real estate stills, cinematic video, aerials), brand (product, hospitality, campaign), people (corporate headshots, founder portraits, interviews), and events (weddings, launches, conferences, podcasts). Every deliverable ships with a paid-media licence and colour-matched web + print exports.
Four principles.
One operator, one vision
The person you brief is the person behind the camera and the person grading the final cut. No agency drift, no lost notes.
Composed to camera
Verticals plumbed, exposure balanced, styling checked before the shutter fires. Post exists to polish — not to rescue.
Deliver on the hour
Same-day previews. 24-hour full stills sets. 3–5 day cinematic edits. If we miss a window, we don't invoice it.
Own your frames
Every shoot ships with a 24-month paid-media licence for the commissioning agent, developer or brand. No hidden usage fees.
